Three times smaller, Israel has dropped the equivalent of three atomic bombs on Gaza, and still they continue unabated, exposing Governments in their complicity and media alike. In New Zealand Māori leaders mobilise on a 1000 kilometre plus walk to Wellington in protest of legislation from the right-winged government. In the US the analysis of the US election continues, Chris Hedges talks about the Democrats and Trump, Bernie Sanders talks about oligarchy. A five-minute scroll.
This is not Hiroshima, this is Gaza

This is not Hiroshima, this is Gaza.
Gaza is nearly 3 times smaller than Hiroshima, and Israel has dropped the equivalent of 6 ATOMIC BOMBS on Gaza.
Don’t stop talking about Gaza as if your life depends on it, because their lives depend on it! pic.twitter.com/VswjcPkDIY

Palestinian children are forced to eat pet food and bug infested flour, but @SecBlinken says there’s no need to change our policy. The Biden administration is refusing to comply with US law. pic.twitter.com/Nfu1LTtl0V

Gaza: Governments and media have been exposed
@MiddleEastEye
‘Gaza has changed the world’, says journalist and author Matt Kennard.
‘It exposed all pro-genocide governments around the world. But freedom and justice loving people in their millions are with Palestine,’ Kennard said after receiving an award at an event in London on Saturday pic.twitter.com/P1IzLZ4g3M

This isn’t the result of a war
@Charlie533080
This isn’t the result of a war.
It’s the outcome of a barbaric, punitive, medieval style raid against the people of Gaza which has been ongoing now for a year. Supported by our government.

The US is rapidly moving towards oligarchy
@BernieSanders
As I told @lexfridman, we are rapidly moving towards oligarchy.
Our economy has a greater concentration of ownership that at any time in history. A few large corporations control what is produced and the prices we pay.
The same thing is happening with our political system. pic.twitter.com/4JRAQC50yU

To oppose Trump we must oppose the Democrats
@ChrisLynnHedges
On my last Q&A, a commenter asked me why I don’t oppose Trump at all costs. I said that I do. To oppose Trump, we must oppose the forces that created him; the Democratic Party. pic.twitter.com/Dk5ozHFPyh
